IN THE FASHION, by                    
First Line: A lion has a mane and a very fine mane
Last Line: And that's the style for me.
Subject(s): Clothing & Dress; Fashion


A lion has a mane and a very fine mane,
The peacock has a perfect knockout of a train.
Both of them look as if they're rather vain --
They get no envy from me.

Oh, blah with "woman's crowning glory!"
I'll leave all that to song and story.
I'm boyish bobbed and I'm not sorry.
No long tresses for me.

The peacock's train some folks may please.
My skirts don't flutter in the breeze;
When I sit down I show my knees,
And that's the style for me.
